I follow photographer, Wayne of Tofino Photography, and view and comment on his amazing wildlife photographs as often as I can. I usually do that form my Robbie’s Inspiration blog but today, I thought I would share some of his beautiful work here. I have matched two of his photographs with tanka poems. You can find Wayne’s site here: https://tofinophotography.wordpress.com/
Evolution
Only those who can
evolve quickly in the now
Will escape unscathed
Focus is necessary
To determine what matters
Irreversible change
Life’s background has changed
It will never revert back
I must adapt to
the different colour of dawn
Cut loose and embrace the now
These poems reflect some of my thinking about Coronavirus and its implications for my life.
Happy Easter.

Thank you, Diana. I am glad you like these. This is how I see things currently. I must admit that sometimes it feels quite surreal and dreamlike. I hope there is some joy, last week [work] felt like a nightmare.
